Looking good Mike.

Glad you got the exhaust figured out.

LakeAnna · 03-16-2012, 05:09 AM

Looks like your ready for the body work... Exhaust and everything looks nice.

mcbassin · 03-16-2012, 12:47 AM

Little update.
With some help from Mark (Crash OK) I got the exhaust intereference figured out. Made one cut on each pipe, rotated them slightly; which dropped them about 1.25". After that welded them back up. I think the cab will fit perfect now after the high hump tunnel is installed.

WOW you got busy after I left.

When do you want to sit the cab back on the frame

Was thinking about doing something similar on my build and hope it turns out as nice as yours did.

Thanks. I used Matrix seam sealer by Evercoat. Then Por-15 paint.

A little update. Not a whole lot of progress but it is what it is. This time of year my fishing and golf kind of fills up the weekends.
I got the last of the rust killed (I think). Then cut the high hump tranny cover hole in the floor. Then started fitting the buckets. I got some information about drilling the holes HERE. I made some braces from old ball bearing drawer slides. They are the same thickness and near the same shape as the OEM braces. Hope to have some POR-15 on the bottom this week.

chevy88 · 03-27-2012, 08:53 AM

Nice progress, those buckets look sharp in there.

raull · 03-27-2012, 08:56 AM

you are rolling !!!!!!!!!!!!! looks good

big_al_71 · 03-27-2012, 09:25 AM

Great work Mike!!!

67c10rustbuket · 03-27-2012, 06:36 PM

Seat install turned out nice Mike! So are those from a 67-72 truck? I thought they only had that buddy bucket option. I like that setup with the console better than the middle seat. must have been a rare option?

Thanks Dan, Yes they are out of a 71-72 specifically. Notice the scrolls on the seat cover. The 69-70 has a wider single scroll right down the center instead (screaminchevypickup taught me that). And of course the 67-68 had the buddy buckets. I'm pretty sure any buckets were a rare option. I got lucky and found these local for a good price and they are in real good condition.

chevy71c10 · 03-28-2012, 12:34 AM

Nice job on relocating the seat mounting holes! I'll have to reference this thread when I get to that point as I'm wanting to put late model buckets in mine as well. Thanks for sharing!

LakeAnna · 03-28-2012, 05:06 AM

Looks good... those seats are gonna be nice! Your almost ready for some paint under there!

Bennett68C10 · 03-28-2012, 08:02 AM

Good work Mike, everything looks great

**screaminchevypickup** · 04-05-2012, 01:45 AM

Working on it Kyle. I actually started flinging mud at the firewall last night. I almost forgot how much I love the smell of filler.

**Dieselwrencher** · 04-05-2012, 06:15 PM

Great work and sweet idea on the drawer slides for support brackets! I might steal your idea if I can find some old slides.

Lower · 04-05-2012, 11:32 PM

Looking good!

smoknbarrels · 04-13-2012, 12:09 PM

went through most of the pages.. such a nice clean build! that cab is turning out great, even though the PO created a bit more work for ya.

JohnC · 04-13-2012, 01:37 PM

It's getting there man! Keep at it!

Time for an overdue update. I have been working on the cab. But it has been slow going. This time of year really slows progress, a lot of other things going on.
On to the pictures.

Got the bottom of the cab painted with Por-15

Got the high hump painted and installed

Prepped under the dash for paint

Cut the firewall for the old style Vintage/air kit. I will be making a custom billet cover to keep it clean.

Made a mount for the DBW pedal. Notice the pedal arm had to be sectioned to get the angle close to the original.

Started bodywork on the firewall and epoxy primered

**screaminchevypickup** · 04-15-2012, 11:02 PM

Looks good mike!!!
